Atwood's Machine

Atwood's Machine is a simple device used in physics to study motion and forces. It consists of two masses attached to either end of a pulley. When one mass is heavier, it will accelerate downward while the lighter mass rises. This setup helps illustrate concepts like gravity, acceleration, and tension in the connecting rope. It's often used in educational settings to demonstrate Newton's laws of motion in a controlled, measurable way, allowing students to visualize how different weights affect movement and understand the principles of dynamics.
